Tuesday 11 June 2013 (1502) - The small fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall has such narrow streets in the harbour area that the village is a restricted area for traffic. A large coach and car park is located at the top of the long main street of the village and visitors then walk down into the centre. Alternatively they can use the small shuttle vehicles of ‘The Polperro Tram Company’ operated by A Wright and Sons – a local business that also includes the selling of ice cream and Cornish pasties!
During my visit three vehicles were active, a motorised Suzuki (NV02 CCO) and two electric vehicles with bodywork mounted on milk float chassis (JDR 661F and REO 207L).
JDR 661F, named ‘Maud’, was on the downhill run from the car park to the village passing Central Garage which had been the base of the erstwhile Pearce’s Motors Ltd business that operated a bus service from the village to Looe for many years. The company ceased running the buses in the early 1970s although the garage premises served as a car repair business for some years after that.
